The problem with Mahony is he has a brilliant football brain, if he had the body of a Bont or a Cripps or a Carey. He needs to better understand how to use his size to advantage. Play front and centre, not be in positions where the quick kick is going to be dumped on his head and he is going to...

As long as three of them are not in the same team. Sugar was back to his best today. Played his role perfectly and got back to hurting some bodies. If he keeps doing that he stays in. The mistake was that at times our mids kicked to him. We have 5 forwards, at any given time, who are more likely...

Just shanked his kicks, missed targets by miles. Defensively was mostly ok but those no pressure passes were cringy.

Young has been good this year at half back. Perez is a natural half-back/back pocket, Taylor a forward, he should have taken Zhurrhar's role on the weekend. Both have been playing on the wing. I know Polley has been much maligned by the club but I thought he plays that wing role pretty well. Run...

Massive congrats Ziebs. Has played all over the ground and has been a fantastic leader through thick and thin. Not afraid to face the media despite the various shitstorms that have happened over the last few years. Puts his body on the line and can turn a game when he is on. True Shinboner!

Lloyd was a dog of a player, would happily cut off a team-mate to make sure he got the goal.

Shannon Watt says hi

Anyone know what happened to Kyron on the weekend? Didn't play VFL or AFL. Did he get injured in the warm-up?

Cunners reply to LDU is a classic

Ripping to see a big man from North taking a few contested marks

Gee I would be interested to know what positional changes you think we could have made which would have changed those results given our fixture and the current injury list. Hall has been good. Not sure if Ziebs would have offered much more in the front half or on the ball. Turner has improved...

Certainly looked a lot better not having Larkey in the ruck. Larkey owned the F50 with his tackling pressure. If he can clunk a few marks with Goldy, X and Tommy rotating through there we look a lot better

That's been his problem right from the start, it's been a really poor part of his game and the opposition knows that once he commits to the contest, they will be +1 as Jack hits the deck and takes an hour to stand up again. He is ok in the air and can be really damaging by foot. (can also win a...

Got to play him forward, we have a dearth of backmen and a queue for developing mids. What we don't have is proven forwards who can support Larkey. A fit and firing TT goes some way towards rectifying that problem. I like the idea of him switching with Stevo on the wing but clearly you need your...

Got to work harder as a team. When Cunners was getting tagged then Jedi or Ziebs or Goldy or Turner should have been putting Deboer on his arse at every opportunity.

It might be more in the middle of their career, Leigh Matthews and Matthew Lloyd were still kicking 60-70 goals a season into their thirties, Quinlan and Locket both cracked the ton in their thirties. I know it's about opportunity and time period but I think when players get older they need to...

I think Turner is annoying because he gets the ball in kickable distance and then has previously lacked the confidence to go for his shots, instead trying to pass it off and making a mess of it. Also, not sure I would be comparing Turner to Carey... in any statistic, not exactly a fair or...

He's only 26, can take a grab, kick a goal and put pressure on in the forward line. If he can get some continuity we will be better for it. Every club carries a few players who are speculative in some way or another, especially if they have shown that they can contribute at the highest level...

Plays like a true CHF. Hits up at the contest and gets to all the right places a power forward should be. Unfortunately he is built like a rover. We need a big bastard with Jack's football nouse bringing the ball to ground where Jack can collect and distribute. Smart footballer for sure.

You play your best contested mark at CHF. I think he should be playing there but I think they will put him back. #NMFClogic

I hate that when he gets the ball we have the usual suspects lining up for a sideways or backwards pass. I love that he ignores them and looks for a forward option. More of this mentality please.

Perhaps this is a good example of old-school footy having something that new science got wrong. Don't take champions off the ground. Leigh Matthews would "rest" in the forward line and kick goals when he wasn't racking up clearances in the centre. Rotations might be great for some players but...

Wood will play at some point but he is not starting in round 1. He needs to kick a bag in the VFL, hold some marks and make a few tackles stick. He's got the tuning circle of Sandilands and the tackling prowess of JMac.

I think he was on Bont for a bit, got absolutely trounced

Best value for money by a long way. Perhaps Polec was the smoke and mirrors to get Pittard to North?

Without knowing what happened there seems to be a lot of under-the-bus judgement going on here. Let's wait and back our own until we get a clearer picture.

Cunners tackle numbers are lower because he's first to the ball

How that wasn't nominated for goal of the week is ridiculous

He struggled with the dew on the ground, and the absolutely shiitful delivery. I lost count of the number of times we bombed it on top of Brown's head when he was outnumbered 3-1. Should have been looking for the free north player. We know he can play but has his limitations.

It's been great to see Atley run and gun a bit. He's much more dangerous charging forward, breaking lines and hitting up targets than doing loopy backward handpasses.
